wheel of well-being

Body. Mind. Spirit. People. Place. Planet. Research is showing us how our health and happiness can be boosted by doing certain things on a day-to-day basis. The Wheel of Well-being is your guide to some of them.

Body, mind, spirit, people and place equate to the 5 ways to well-being of 'be active', 'keep learning', 'give', 'connect' and 'take notice'. The wheel adds a sixth element of 'care': planet.

At the heart of the Wheel of Well-being is the WoW website, a practical collection of free tips, tools, activities and ideas – from a DIY Happiness game to promote well-being at community events, to a Happier at Work programme to improve well-being in the workplace.

Here's an introductory, animated film:

This film was made by SLaM's SHARP (Social Inclusion, Hope and Recovery Project) team and Michelle McNary, filmmaker and mental health service user.

physical health and well-being

This booklet has been produced by staff and service users at SLaM to help you look after your physical and mental health together.

It is in two parts. The first part is about what physical health tests SLaM can give you if you’re in hospital and why they are important. The second part is about looking after your physical health and well-being at home.

Included is a summary of the tests you can have and there’s also a sheet for you to write down your test results and notes on your progress.

To read this booklet, simply hover your mouse pointer over the front cover and scroll down with your mouse wheel, or drag the bar on the right down. There is also a download button and a full-screen button on the toolbar.
